Pete Wicks swerves Strictly Come Dancing Live Tour despite being a fan favourite as REAL reason behind his shock absence is revealed


Strictly favourite Pete Wicks has shocked fans by swerving the show's live tour, MailOnline can reveal.

EastEnders actor Jamie Borthwick and opera singer Wynne Evans join Strictly glitter ball contenders Tasha Ghouri and JB Gill on the UK tour, which begins in Birmingham on January 17 and concludes at London's O2 Arena on February 9. But fans will be disappointed not to see Pete and his dance partner Jowita PrzystaƂ grace the stage, with sources saying the podcaster is 'gutted' he couldn't join his co-stars on the arena tour. This week, Pete and Jowita will perform two dances for the first time in the competition, the Argentine Tango to Bittersweet by Symphony The Verve and a Foxtrot to Beyond The Sea by Bobby Darin.
